I have never been a fan of Brumby's or Baker's Delight with their jam and cream buns, cheesymite…read morescrolls and date scones. I prefer to go to specialist patisseries for baked goods and breads. Bumbleebee Bakery at Eight Mile Plains is the exception to the rule. As a bakery, it does a mean trade on meat pies, sausage rolls and those nasty, artery blocking jam and cream buns. There are also some scrumptious cakes and macaroons available. The macaroons are $2.20 each or six for $13. They come in an assortment of flavours and the fillings are more buttery than creamy. There is also a small Chinese baked goods section with sweet breads filled with red bean paste, BBQ pork buns and coconut buns. It's sort of like a sampler selection from Breadtop. To top it off, the staff are always friendly and cheerful. Usually they're out the back whipping up fresh new cakes but will immediately bustle out as soon as you ring the bell. What more can one ask from a neighbourhood bakery? Bumblebee gets five out of five from me for being the first decent bakery on Brisbane's far South side.

Great business with good service. If you are a tradey driving by wanting some smoko or you are…read moreorganising a morning tea with some friends there is plenty here to tempt the taste buds. Birthday cakes are made to order. In my mind the pies are good and I think Plaza Hot Bread is offering consistently good quality bakery food. I find the prices reasonable. Early in the morning you can stop out the front. There is plenty of car park parking if you come later in the day.

Customer service disgusting. Ordered a birthday cake, told them date and time I would be in to…read morepick it up. When i got there, first they couldnt find the cake, then they told me they had to make it. I was told it would take 30 minutes and they would ring me when it was done. 30 minutes passed, no phone call, an hour passed, no phone call. So I tried to ring them to see if it was ready, the number had been disconnected. So I had to leave my sons birthday party to see if his cake was ready. It was, when I asked why they didnt ring when they said they would, her response was I forgot. Not good enough.

Wow it's been a long while since I stumbled on this place…read more It's as good as ever. Stopped in for brunch. The Breakfast Bun was delicious, tasty and filling. The Yumington was a sweet breakfast treat that filled the brunch craving. Coffee was excellent and worked well with brunch. Not too bitter - a Goldilocks blend, just right. The decor seems the same from all those years back. It's got a good atmosphere so why change what seems to work. As I said good as ever.

I found Extraction Artisan Coffee almost 4 years ago by accident. And what a wonderful chance…read moremeeting it was. Located at the back of an industrial area near Springwood, this hidden gem of a coffee place is well worth the visit. You will return time and time again. Apart from the amazing range of gourmet food, their house blend 'Gratitude' coffee which is roasted and produced on-site is to die for. Extraction caters for all dietary needs, and it is very proud of the fact that it uses and respects sustainable practices. I love the way that it supports local industries including the dairy and meat farmers. I also love the fact that the staff are continually being involved in community events, and they excel in the way they give back to the community and inspire their customers to do the same. You feel like family. Ordering at the counter is fast and helpful and the table service is amazing. Everyone is so friendly, and continually making your dining experience wonderful. Coffee, friends, food and good times are the essences of Extraction. There are so many different places to sit and enjoy reasonably-priced coffee and food. Large, small and medium tables are surrounded by couches and antique chairs. The decor is eclectic but not pretentious. Apart from the exquisite range of coffee, Extraction also has their amazing range of cold drip coffee plus a huge assortment of tea if that's your thing. Go and try Extraction Artisan Coffee. It's a great place to meet people, relax, chill out and enjoy yourself surrounded by friendly and attentive staff. And on a personal note, for breakfast, you can't go past the vast array of choices, but for this man, the scrambled eggs are done to perfection and the locally produced bacon is exquisite. I love this quote from their online menu which really sums up the whole Extraction experience: "Sharing food and enjoying coffee together is the equivalent of saying you matter."
